Download or read book The Father Daughter Plot written by Rebecca L. Copeland and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2001-07-31 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative collection of essays is a comprehensive study of the "father-daughter dynamic" in Japanese female literary experience. Its contributors examine the ways in which women have been placed politically, ideologically, and symbolically as "daughters" in a culture that venerates "the father." They weigh the impact that this daughterly position has had on both the performance and production of women's writing from the classical period to the present. Conjoining the classical and the modern with a unified theme reveals an important continuum in female authorship-a historical approach often ignored by scholars. The essays devoted to the literature of the classical period discuss canonical texts in a new light, offering important feminist readings that challenge existing scholarship, while those dedicated to modern writers introduce readers to little-known texts with translations and readings that are engaging and original.

Mostow, Sharalyn Orbaugh, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen, Edith Sarra, Atsuko Sasaki, Ann Sherif.

Download or read book Comparative Perspectives on Work Life Balance and Gender Equality written by Margaret O'Brien and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book portrays men’s experiences of home alone leave and how it affects their lives and family gender roles in different policy contexts and explores how this unique parental leave design is implemented in these contrasting policy regimes. The book brings together three major theoretical strands: social policy, in particular the literature on comparative leave policy developments; family and gender studies, in particular the analysis of gendered divisions of work and care and recent shifts in parenting and work-family balance; critical studies of men and masculinities, with a specific focus on fathers and fathering in contemporary western societies and life-courses. Drawing on empirical data from in-depth interviews with fathers across eleven countries, the book shows that the experiences and social processes associated with fathers’ home alone leave involve a diversity of trends, revealing both innovations and absence of change, including pluralization as well as the constraining influence of policy, gender, and social context. As a theoretical and empirical book it raises important issues on modernization of the life course and the family in contemporary societies. The book will be of particular interest to scholars in comparing western societies and welfare states as well as to scholars seeking to understand changing work-life policies and family life in societies with different social and historical pathways.
Download or read book Japanese Lessons written by Gail R. Benjamin and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin dismantles Americans' preconceived notions of the Japanese education system "Gail R. Benjamin reaches beyond predictable images of authoritarian Japanese educators and automaton schoolchildren to show the advantages and disadvantages of a system remarkably different from the American one..."—The New York Times Book Review Americans regard the Japanese educational system and the lives of Japanese children with a mixture of awe and indignance. We respect a system that produces higher literacy rates and superior math skills, but we reject the excesses of a system that leaves children with little free time and few outlets for creativity and self-expression. In Japanese Lessons, Gail R. Benjamin recounts her experiences as a American parent with two children in a Japanese elementary school. An anthropologist, Benjamin successfully weds the roles of observer and parent, illuminating the strengths of the Japanese system and suggesting ways in which Americans might learn from it. With an anthropologist's keen eye, Benjamin takes us through a full year in a Japanese public elementary school, bringing us into the classroom with its comforting structure, lively participation, varied teaching styles, and non-authoritarian teachers. We follow the children on class trips and Sports Days and through the rigors of summer vacation homework. We share the experiences of her young son and daughter as they react to Japanese schools, friends, and teachers. Through Benjamin we learn what it means to be a mother in Japan--how minute details, such as the way mothers prepare lunches for children, reflect cultural understandings of family and education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be of vital interest to scholars in comparative psychology, the histories of Russian psychology and American psychology, to pastoral psychologists, and humanistic psychologists. The book sheds light on the differences between American and Russian mentality, and therefore may be of interest to social psychologists and political scientists and analysts. In this book twelve eminent psychologists discuss the changes in Russian psychology since Carl Rogers' seminal visit to the USSR in 1986. In the process they evaluate the effect of American methods of psychotherapy on Russian therapies in view of the differences between American and Russian mentalities. They discuss the roles of Russian academic, cultural, and literary traditions as well as Russian Orthodoxy in shaping those emerging therapies.

Download or read book Representations of Fathers Mothers and Parent figures in Japanese Children s Literature written by Yoshimi Ohashi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study is to understand how parents are portrayed in picture books in different time periods in Japan. Based on the statistical analysis of 113 picture books published between 1977-2010, parental representations in texts and in illustrations of fathers, mothers, father-figures, and mother-figures were compared. To gather the societal trends in shifting parental roles over time, the analysis compared two different time periods (1977-1989; 1990-2010). The analysis focused on three categories: Parental appearances, by gender in texts and in illustrations; parental mentions in texts and co-appearances with children in illustrations; six parenting behaviors (nurturing, care-giving, guiding, companionship, disciplining, and providing) displayed by parents in texts and in illustrations. The results revealed that the overall representations of mothers in texts and in illustrations were higher than of fathers in Japanese picture books. The results of parenting behavior showed that fathers were portrayed more in providing, guiding, and companionship roles than in nurturing and care-giving roles in picture books selected for this study. The analysis revealed that the portrayal of parenting behaviors has changed overtime for a few domains. The study's findings bear implications for educators and parents, the field of early childhood education, the field of children's literature, and the field of father involvement. The study suggests the need for teachers, parents, and administrators serving children in early childhood years should expose children to books that portray gender neutral parenting roles. In addition, children's book authors need to balance representations of male and female parents and male and female parent-figures in texts and in illustrations in their stories. Moreover, there is the need for books that portray co-parenting roles of parents in single parent families highlighting the co-parenting responsibilities of parents irrespective of their residential status. It is critical that educational researchers examine books for gender-neutral parenting roles so that the findings of their studies inform and influence future authors' careful attention to how they portray fathers and mothers in their stories.

Book excerpt: Oceans and decades apart, two women are inextricably bound by the secrets between them. Japan, 1957. Seventeen-year-old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged marriage to the son of her father’s business associate would secure her family’s status in their traditional Japanese community, but Naoko has fallen for another man—an American sailor, a gaijin—and to marry him would bring great shame upon her entire family. When it’s learned Naoko carries the sailor’s child, she’s cast out in disgrace and forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that will ripple across generations. America, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation—one that calls into question everything she understood about him, her family and herself. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori’s journey leads her halfway around the world to a remote seaside village in Japan, where she must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption. In breathtaking prose and inspired by true stories from a devastating and little-known era in Japanese and American history, The Woman in the White Kimono illuminates a searing portrait of one woman torn between her culture and her heart, and another woman on a journey to discover the true meaning of home.
